There’s A Web Series Based On ‘The Last Of Us’ In The Works, And It Looks Intense
A couple days ago Resident Evil: Return to Raccoon City made its trailer debut, and while I’m obviously a huge fan of the series, it didn’t look terribly impressive. Now, a trailer for What Remains, another fan-made web series, has made its debut. Now this is more like it. The quality is certainly there, and they even (briefly) show one of the game’s creepy fungal zombies, so that only leaves the acting, which we don’t see much of. It’s being made by Manifest Film, and you can get your first look at it after the jump. Trust me, it’s worth checking out.
No word yet on when this will go live, but its inspiration, The Last of Us, releases for the PS3 on May 7th.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
